Doors (on Empathy)

In the end, we all die. It is how we live that defines us. We can open doors and light the darkness. We can hide behind closed doors. America's Statue of Liberty holds her torch high, a symbol of light. That is my America.

No decision, no action we take is without consequences. Every possible outcome cannot be controlled, not by mere mortals.

We have to have another way to decide. How can we decide between our best interests and another's?

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

The world would find peace if just these simple words were followed.

When I look into your eyes I can see your pain, and it becomes mine. How can I hurt you more?

I cannot make you see me, unless I stand before you and see you. Eye to eye. It is better than an eye for an eye.
